  a. low-achieving second graders were much more likely to use retrieval than high achieving second graders
  b. high-achieving second graders were much more likely to use retrieval than low achieving second graders
  c. low-achieving second graders were much more likely to use decomposition to 10 than counting on
  d. high-achieving second graders were much more likely to use decomposition to 10 than low-achieving second graders
